The KitchenAid KMT4115ER 4-Slice Toaster has chrome buttons that glow with blue back-light illumination when in use. The extra-wide slots will accept the thickest bagels, breads, or pastries and the extra-deep, steel toasting cavity ensures even browning. The racks automatically adjust the slot width for thick or thin slices, keeping food upright for even toasting. When your food is ready, the manual high lift lever makes it easy to get it out of the toaster. Selecting the bagel toasting function reduces the power on one side of the heating elements by 50% to produce a better toasted bagel. Plus, the adjustable 5-shade setting ensures your food will pop up just the way you like it.

We needed to replace our toaster as our current one was on it's last leg and would either brown too light or way too dark. Toast was always cold or as hard as a rock. Kitchen Aid has always been a stand out brand as far as quality and ease of use to me. I also own a stand up mixer and always enjoy using that so I was thrilled to find a toaster from the same brand and due to it's quality I wasn't hesitant to purchase this toaster. We really enjoy this toaster now and love that we can make 4 pieces of bread all in one shot. The quality of the toast is over the top with the ability to dial up or down for desired color. I can even walk away to make the coffee and be assured my bread will pop up when finished and I can hear the beep to know it's indeed ready from the next room.

This KitchenAid stainless steel toaster matches my other non-KitchenAid stainless steel appliances very well! Overall this toaster is very stylish and functions well, however, I feel the burning element is a bit uneven... Nothing major, just that it toasts one part of the bread more than the other, but again nothing major. still a great toaster, and very stylish. Definitely would recommend to family and friends.
